New features

Support for isolated workspaces in GeoServer App-Schema plugin

The AppSchema plugin developed at GeoSolutions
now comes with support for GeoServer's isolated workspaces feature.

Thanks to GeoSolutions, Stefano Costa, and Nuno Oliveira for this contribution!

XtraServer configuration plugin

XtraServer is a product of interactive instruments. It is a suite of implementations
of various OGC service specifications, e.g. Web Feature Service (WFS) and Web Map
Service (WMS). XtraServer services can base on any application schema according to the
Geography Markup Language (GML). For this, a mapping from the GML application schema to
the table structure of the underlying database is to be provided in the configuration
of the service. The mapping language of XtraServer is very flexible and can virtually
map all GML application schemas to heavily deviating database schemas. For this reason,
mappings can be quite complex.

The purpose of this plugin is to

transform the XtraServer mappings to hale alignments (via Import) and

generate new XtraServer mapping file easily (via Export)

Thanks to interactive instruments, Jon Herrmann, and Andreas Zahnen for this contribution!

Capability to merge alignments with hale CLI

This release adds the new merge command to hale CLI that makes
it possible to migrate a source project based on another project
providing a schema mapping to the project's source.
In hale studio you can view tasks and messages generated by the
merge with the new Tasks view.

Thanks to the Implementierungspartnerschaft AAA-Dienste of the AdV for funding
this work and to interactive instruments GmbH for the great collaboration in
implementing it.

Import Groovy snippets as a new, re-useable resource type

Using Groovy snippets allows you to keep extensive logic in external files and to easily reuse
them across different transformation scripts.
